Ideal for both routine maintenance and deep decontamination, this color-changing formula reveals a cleaner, smoother surface ready for polishing or protection.

Key Features & Benefits

🔹 Color-Changing Formula – Turns purple upon contact with iron particles, making contamination easy to identify and rinse away.
🔹 Safe on Wheels and Paint – pH-balanced chemistry is safe for clear coat, polished metals, and modern wheel finishes.
🔹 Fast-Acting & Effective – Dissolves brake dust, rail dust, and industrial fallout within minutes.
🔹 No Pre-Wash Required for Wheels – Just spray and watch the magic happen—perfect for quick jobs or busy detailers.
